HTTP Router

HTTP Router

HTTP Router is the service that determines which cell should serve the incoming requests inside the cluster. This is generally determined by the resources the request is asking for.

For example, a request looking for a project inside cell-2 will be routed to cell-2.

To learn more about HTTP Router, check out the design document and the project repository.

Routing Rules

Routing rules define how to decode requests and make routing decisions.

Rules are organized in rulesets (e.g. session_token). Rules are static and selected (by ruleset) prior to the HTTP Router deployment.

Routing decision is evaluated from top to bottom. It short circuits upon first match.

For more in-depth explanation of rules and running examples of incoming requests being matched to routing rules, check out the http-router documentation on rules.
